[PATCH pm 1/2] usb_storage: don't use set_freezable_with_signal()

[Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>]

The current implementation of set_freezable_with_signal() is buggy and
tricky to get right.  usb-storage is the only user and its use can be
avoided trivially.

All usb-storage wants is to be able to sleep with timeout and get
woken up if freezing() becomes true.  This can be trivially
implemented by doing interruptible wait w/ freezing() included in the
wait condition.  There's no reason to use set_freezable_with_signal().

Perform interruptible wait on freezing() instead of using
set_freezable_with_signal(), which is scheduled for removal.

These two patches are on top of "freezer: fix various bugs and
simplify implementation, take#2" patchset[1] and are also available in
the following git branch.

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/misc.git pm-kill-freezable_with_signal

If usb-storage ppl are okay with it, I think routing this through pm
would be the easiest.  Oh, and this definitely is for the next merge
window.

Thank you.
